Russian authorities fear that the United States may take tough measures against Russia before the end of Joe Biden's presidency.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to Charter97.org.
According to a source in the diplomatic circles, the Biden administration may still allow Kyiv to launch long-range American strikes on Russian territory. Such drastic steps, according to diplomats, will complicate the prospects for dialogue in the future.
Thus, on the eve of Trump's first term in 2016, the Biden administration Barack Obama expelled 36 Russian diplomats and stripped Russia of diplomatic property in the United States, causing serious discontent in Moscow.
Now Russian diplomats fear that the Democrats could take similar actions without fear of consequences. According to the interlocutors, the Russian-American dialogue is now practically frozen, but with the arrival of Trump, one can expect cautious attempts to restore contacts.
At the same time, Russia began to talk about its readiness to negotiate with Trump: Lavrov's statement.
